> Seriously - I get the frustration of the current situation, but if you've ever done it on paper and have anything other than the 1040EZ form, this should give you pause.

Imagine if back when we had paper forms H&R Bloch had managed to lobby Congress to prohibit the IRS from providing free forms and mail in processing directly to taxpayers, and instead required them to work with private vendors to provide proprietary forms and postal tax filing solutions? Would this really be better? How does “with a computer” change this?

And, yes, I've done 1040 and 1040A filing by paper in the past



That's not apples-to-apples.

To make that fair, they would have to lobby against E-File.
